365 Days of Movies- Mission Statement

The Goal: To watch an average of 1 movie a day, every day in 2016, or 365 movies total. This is a personal challenge, but I invite anyone interested to follow-suit with a quest of their own.

Why?: Why Not?

Rules:

Film must be either completely new to me, unless to the best of my recollection I haven’t seen it in at least 10 years.

Special dispensation is granted for films viewed in the last 10 years if I failed to finish watching the film from beginning to end, or if a 3-member panel of fellow film fans from Movieboozer agree to an exception.

Should there be any dispute as to whether a film has violated the above conditions, said panel of 3 may be assembled to arbitrate the matter and decide whether a film already viewed should be counted.

Each film viewing will be recorded in the below log as a running list, with an article being released weekly featuring a brief status report, including movies watched, and a short one-paragraph summary of my thoughts on each film.

Film summaries may be expanded on with a full review article at my own discretion

Upon Completion of 365 films, I may continue to watch as many films as possible, for bragging rights.

About Oberst von Berauscht

Oberst Von Berauscht once retained the services of a Gypsy to imbue in him the ability to accurately describe the artistic qualities of a film up to seven decimal points. To maintain this unique skill, he must feast on the blood of a virgin every Harvest Moon, or failing that (and he usually does), he can also make a dog do that thing they do where they twist their heads slightly (you know, when they're confused about something) at least a few times a week. I've gotten way off track here... The point is, Oberst is one of the website's founders, so... yeah
